NAIROBI, KENYA

A convergence space has been set up by IMC volunteers from both Africa and beyond. Media activists from the Prometheus Radio Network started arriving in Naorobi a week ago and since then have started a series of physical building workshops with communities in and around Naorobi. A recent info states ".."We" is a convergence of 30+ indymedia activists, hosted by Kenya IMC, currently in Nairobi. We are from Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Zimbabwe, US, Germany and hopefully the delegates from Cameroon, Mali, and Nigeria will get their visa clearance to come. We are having a great time sharing skills, building radio transmitters, and talking about the needs of Indymedia in Africa." A very fruitful African Indymedia Conversation happened some days ago between these media activists with some interesting commentry from IMC-KENYA.

There have been some serious problems with the Indymedia Kenya website which was set up two years ago but with the arrival of new people for the convergence, some of the major problems have been resolved. Some time back activists were saying "Trying to get a feature on the IMC Kenya site is like having your eyeball peeled", but on the eve of the WSF forum after a lot of technical work, hunting for passwords and general background work IMC-KENYA got its first feature: Indymedia radio support for WSF 2007 from Kenya

The program will take place in a lovely intimate hacklab in a authonomous social centre space whose door opens onto a busy pedestrian barrio of gracia here in barcelona: La quimera. It's a really nice collective and the barrio has a long tradition of political activity.

Radio will be streamed at r23. The two streams from Nairobi and Dublin will be picked from barcelona and restreamed to r23 already mixed. r23 is a net radio born in barcelona that now is international. Gives the oportunity to give server support for free streaming trhough a stream free servers ring giss.

Seomra spraoi, the name for the Dublin social centre collective, had a temporary space in 2005 which was used as an example of a "global listening node", but since then they have moved to a new space and have not yet been able to create an internet connection there. There are computers in this space donated by Revolt Video Collective, so if the net connection is not sorted soon the space will act as a listening node by picking up and playing prerecorded material from Kenya. Indymedia ireland were helping out to make this connection but they experienced a very serious tek problem which shut the site down untill money was raised to find a new server, this work obviosly took precedence for them. Revolt helped facilitate the last "global listening node" experiment with equipment, people, tek support and a film was made about this: streaming from the gaff.

NEAR fm´s old "majority world" host R- is collaborating with Revolt Video Collective and others for the International Radio Show which will have 3 speakers from the following list talking about the topic of housing
